Chapter 259 - An Unexpected Phenomenon "I know I said this before, but I really appreciate you doing this for me, Meixiu." Yuan suddenly said to her while she scrubbed his legs. "D-Don’t worry about it... You have also helped me out a lot when I didn’t know any better as a child." Meixiu responded in a low voice. When she was a young child who was still in training to be the perfect servant, she would often make mistakes and get scolded by her mother. When that happens, Meixiu would cry like any other brat and seek Yuan for comfort. "I was originally trained to serve you, Yuan, but after what happened to you, they decided to assign me to the Young Lady instead..." Meixiu suddenly said. "At one point, I was even..." Meixiu suddenly stopped midway through her sentence. "Meixiu?" "Never mind that... I was just talking to myself," Meixiu mumbled a moment later. After cleaning Yuan’s legs, there was only one place that still needed to be cleaned— the area between his legs. Meixiu swallowed nervously at the thought of touching this cute snake, almost like she feared that it might bite her if she approached it. However, as much as she wanted to leave that place alone, she was trained to do her job properly; it was inexcusable for her to half-ass a job or leave her job unfinished. Therefore, she could only swallow her nervousness and reach for the soft thing between Yuan’s legs and began cleaning it with her hands, as it was very difficult to clean every nook and cranny with the sponge. A chill went up Yuan’s spine when Meixiu began cleaning his precious thing. Perhaps it was due to his Spirit Warrior cultivation base, but the sensation of his own body has significantly improved since then, allowing him to feel a lot more. He’d already noticed this when Meixiu began washing his body, but it wasn’t as apparent as currently for some reason, almost like the area between his legs was much more sensitive than other areas on his body. And then an unexpected phenomenon happened. "This is..." Meixiu’s eyes widened with shock when the small snake suddenly started growing larger and larger. Since this is her first time washing Yuan, it is only obvious that she has no prior knowledge, so she didn’t know if Yuan’s sprout was normal in such situations. Of course, Yuan was oblivious to this natural reaction on his body. Meixiu didn’t know whether she should continue or stop at this point, but she eventually convinced herself to continue. Thus, Meixiu began washing Yuan again but with a slight difference— she was rushing it, something she had never done before. A few seconds later, Meixiu finally stopped washing him and began rinsing the soap off his body with the showerhead. "I am finished..." Meixiu spoke in a tiny voice afterward, her face flushed with redness. "Thank you, Meixiu." Yuan said to her in a calm voice, completely oblivious to the blushing expression on Meixiu’s face at this moment. Sometime later, Meixiu laid a large dry towel on Yuan’s bed before placing Yuan on this blanket and drying his body off with another towel. ’It’s back to normal again...’ Meixiu thought to herself as she dried his body. After drying Yuan’s body, Meixiu helped Yuan put his clothes on. "I am done here, Yuan. I am going to clean myself now..." Meixiu said, still completely naked at this point. "Okay. You can go to sleep afterward." "Goodnight, Yuan." "Goodnight." Meixiu went to the bathroom to wash herself shortly after, and Yuan began cultivating. ’What was that warm sensation just now?’ Yuan wondered to himself before he started his cultivation. Meanwhile, Meixiu spent longer than usual in the bathroom. Once she was finally out again, she went straight to her room and sat on her bed with a dazed look on her face for many minutes before she decided to put on the console and enter Cultivation Online to see whether Yuan’s friend was there. After spending half an hour of waiting with no results, Meixiu logged off the game to sleep. That night, Meixiu had a weird dream where she was surrounded by mushrooms and snakes. The following morning, after feeding Yuan breakfast, Meixiu went to school. "You look tired, Meixiu. Did you not get enough sleep last night? This is my first time seeing you like this." Yu Rou said to Meixiu inside the car when she noticed Meixiu’s dazed look. "N-No... I am fine, Young Lady." Meixiu responded with a slight delay. "I see... If you need to rest, just let me know and I’ll give the teachers an excuse so you can rest for the day." "Thank you, Young Lady, but I am fine." "How’s Brother Tian?" Yu Rou then asked. "The Young Master is doing great, and as usual, he’s eating three bowls of soup with ease," she responded. "I see... By the way, this reminds me, you were supposed to be Brother Tian’s servant at one point, right? I remember your mother saying something like that to me before." Yu Rou suddenly asked. "T-That’s right... I was trained to support the Young Master and satisfy his every need." Meixiu nodded. Yu Rou’s eyes widened, and she mumbled in a slightly surprised voice, "That sounds like they trained you to become his wife or something." "..." Meixiu remained silent regarding Yu Rou’s statement, yet a weird glint flickered in her eyes. "Do you regret it?" Yu Rou continued to ask. "Not being able to work for Brother Tian despite training for it, I mean." "While it did feel bitter at first since it felt like all of the training I did was for nothing, I was able to assist the Young Lady because of the skills I had learned with that training, so I don’t have any regrets," Meixiu answered after a moment of silence. "But you’re taking care of Brother Tian now, just like you were trained. It feels like fate," Yu Rou chuckled at her own statement. Sometime later, they arrived at school and began their classes.
